Is a hand-dyed yarn company based in Coffs Harbour, Australia

Timely by Libby Jonson was originally designed using our Daintree yarn. I get so many requests for custom dyed yarns specifically for this cardigan, and it’s no wonder because it’s a beauty. There are so many combinations you could choose but I really love Watercolour and Sea Glass. #timelycardigan ••• Link to the yarns can be found in our profile ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXLBTuHt_W/?igshid=19j441fjyc398

I don’t know what it is about circular yokes and lace, but I just fall for them instantly. Lea by @marzena.kolaczek is no exception 😍 I think it would look lovely knit using our Daintree in the mossy green Midlands colourway. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKVPVnmH-J2/?igshid=1wmj4qkqkig06

Our Daintree yarns are now in the shop! Don’t forget, if you buy 2 or more skeins you can get a free copy of the Duet pattern. Just add the yarns and pattern to your cart then use the code DUET. Pictured are Clementine and Plum which would be a perfect combo for this pattern. ••• Link to the yarns can be found in our bio. #duettee #skeindaintree https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUrZSLHc_L/?igshid=h1d8y2fl92le

Each week I put together a few pattern suggestions which I add to our newsletter. I thought I’d share a few here on our feed. These are all selected because they would be perfect for our Daintree which is being added to the shop tomorrow. This colourway is Plum which would be perfect for Tornado by @rubatordesigns #tornadosweater 💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKTCW1GntY_/?igshid=1tqbbvjb31u35

The Annisa Wrap by @ambahobrien came to mind when I was photographing these ••• Our Daintree yarns are heading in to the shop Friday. Colourways are Wisp and Midnight In Shanghai 🖤🤍 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKSNitgHxvq/?igshid=nwbt1geb1kxg

It’s Daintree week! I really love working with this silky yarn, especially in summer. Daintree is a blend of Merino, Bamboo and Silk, it’s so lovely to wear and to knit with. This is Plum, Sea Glass and Horizon (which is looking bluer in this pic than it is IRL). Yarns are available Friday 💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNypo9Hxv6/?igshid=1h7jnn3ezlo3s

Just off the drying racks, Pink Sapphire (on the left) and Watercolour on our Daintree base. The only thing I love about having a super hot studio in summer is that the yarn dries completely overnight ☀️ ••• These along with loads more Daintree will be in the shop Friday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKM39CQnfat/?igshid=1g2w8dsqr2t4t

I don’t think the camera does this colourway justice. This is Delightful on our Uptown base. It totally lives up to its name 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKK3dBfnnuS/?igshid=1ikczjaluv5eu

It’s Monday morning here and we are back in the studio. Thank you for your orders over the weekend! These will be shipping out over the next two days 💖 This week we’ll be dyeing up our Daintree base, if you have any requests let me know 😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKSLtSHu0p/?igshid=yfra2fmqp9qs

Sweetie Pie and Midnight In Shanghai on our Everyday Sock 💖🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKIfVfGHKDX/?igshid=1vesj5g37a8uk

January’s Colour Collection Club is bright turquoise. 🤔 I have some fun ideas brewing for this one! 🐠🐠🐠🐠 #skeinclub2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKFubmon6bz/?igshid=6x12jrygsf5h

It’s Saturday here and the sun is shining. Time to head to the beach for a morning swim. Here’s a few sunny colours to brighten up your Insta feed ☀️ Nickel Azo, Sweetie Pie and Oxygen on our Everyday Sock. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKFQFJCHuhi/?igshid=1fg7rrl2yoqvh

Our update is live! We’ve added new colourways and a few of our regular favourites. The yarn bases this week are Uptown and Everyday Sock. Pictured is just a few of what’s been added. Link is in our profile ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCpkaDn5Qy/?igshid=1189hyt0yg3x6

Finished a little swatch using our new colourway Aquatic. Our soon to be released colours are dyed using a new technique which produces painterly splashes of colour. As you can see there is no pooling, just random pops of colour. I think these would look great knit up in a simple sweater or cardi. Our yarns will be available in our shop tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAn8JSHPmR/?igshid=15xfvoqyxec35

Two of our new colourways Cinder and Watercolour on our Everyday Sock. All of our new colourways will be heading into the shop this Friday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ-iYtjH41f/?igshid=1d72ywyluyqm9

These new splashy colours are a lot of fun to dye. I’ll be swatching one up tonight so you can see how they knit up. Love this peachy pink one that I dyed today. Those bright pops of green look so good with the pink (and my dye shoes 😆) 💚💖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7rGFdnwbB/?igshid=er8i2kkrjo36
